Recent runnings of the Maurice McCarten Stakes:
- The ‘Blue Army’ of Godolphin struck in the 2024 Group 3 Maurice McCarten Stakes (1100m) at Rosehill, with the James Cummings-trained Red Card ($3.20) making every post a winner. The four-year-old mare was taken straight to the lead by Adam Hyeronimus from the inside draw, and was relatively uncontested throughout the 1100m journey, with only Hard To Say ($9.50) coming across to sit on her outside. Airman ($5.00) got a lovely run in transit just in behind the speed under James McDonald, while the Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott-trained Omni Man ($6.50) sat in the one-one for the duration. Once they turned for home, Red Card was the only horse punters would’ve wanted to be on as she extended the lead under Hyeronimus, with Libertad ($23.00) the only late challenger, producing an incredible runner-up effort after suffering Cardiac Arrythmia first-up.
- Punters didn’t want to be with Cannonball in the 2023 Group 3 Maurice McCarten Stakes (1100m) as he drifted from $5 at the open to start at double figures heading to post. But he defied the drift to lead them all the way and post a strong first-up win after a 161-day spell. Cannonball was able to pinch some slow sectionals early in the race before Brett Prebble popped the question turning for home, finishing off with a closing 600m sectional of 33.05s. He stormed clear to score a nice win as Athelric clung onto second placing, while Quick Tempo stole inside runs to find third position. Cannonball appreciated the tactics with the light weight and was able to produce a 1.3 length margin on the line, recording his third career win in stylish fashion.
- Shelby Sixtysix proved too good for the race favourite Rule Of Law in the 2022 Group 3 Maurice McCarten Stakes (1100m) at Rosehill Gardens. The five-year-old gelding was given a terrific ride by jockey Tommy Berry, who put his mount in a great spot from barrier one. The son of Toronado started a $6 chance with online bookmakers and maintained a good strong run along the fence to defeat Rule Of Law and Gravina by 1.25 lengths.
